Maddy

I like found out on my own.

So to back up, so the last memory I have of my dad, he was... Because when everything was coming out, because he went to prison for this.

He got sentenced for 42 years.

I didn't really know what was going on.

I was so young, like...

I couldn't fathom that this was what was happening.

And I remember he took me into the room and he sits me on the bed and he's like, hey, Madeline, I'm going to be going away for a really long time.

And I like, I don't really remember feeling any type of emotion, just kind of like, what?

And I remember him just being like, I love you.

Be strong.

I got to go away for a while.

And then he left and we were all in this small apartment, Arkansas.

I just remember like chaos.

Like I remember a lot of moving around with family houses.

I remember packing up boxes, a lot of yelling and fighting.

But like those vivid memories is really all I got when he was around.

I didn't really understand what was going on.

He was there one minute and he was gone the next.

And then it seemed like in my head, probably a month after me and him had that conversation, my mom packed all our stuff up and we moved to Vegas super randomly.

And she just, like I said, I guess she had some friends there and she got hooked up with a house, a super nice house.
